I want to thank everyone that has given me such great suggestions for what to see in San Francisco.
Today was another fun day... we met Charles of Charles Chocolates and went to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park.

I am glad to see that the tulip garden was in bloom for you. have you done the cable cars yet? If you take the one form near Union station to fisherman's wharf--get on the right side of the car--the views are the best from this side. The nautical museum near the wharfs allow you the walk through several ships--it was a neat experience. The sub tour was not that great, but here in Chicago we have a famous sub I have toured several times.

Musee Mecanique, one of the world’s largest privately owned collections of mechanically operated musical instruments and antique arcade machines. Due to renovation in 2002 the collection moved to its new location at Pier 45 at Fisherman’s Wharf. http://www.museemechanique.org/I recommend this most highly--take alot of change with you. Every trip to San fran, I visit this collection--at its old and new location. Laughing sally is great and that these pieces all work and are being preserved is amazing. So if you find yourself at the wharf, please spend some time there. :)

Also, I never have done this, but it has always been recommended to have a drink at the top of the Mark Hotel--a tradition I am told with a grand view. I am soo jealous of you!! :)

Also, go into NIEMAN MARCUS store at Union square. look upward and you view the remains if the famous Paris Department Store, an amzing stain glass dome that was preserved from the old store. of course, there is Gump's too.

noran - we rode a cable car on Saturday from the Ferry Building to Union Square... that was fun! I bet Aaron would love to tour those ships (he was in the Navy... and in the Navy Reserves now) Musee Mecanique sounds great! I want to try and make it this trip... if not it is definitely going on my "to do" list. We had a drink at the "Top of the Mark" on our last visit... great view.
